In the Moment: Part Four by Rachael Orman is Now Available & Reviewed

Keeping two people happy in a relationship is hard enough, add in another and things get even more complicated. Adam and Ace have found their balance, but Alicia isn't sure it's what she wants at all. She doesn't want a normal relationship, let alone one that is so tough to make work. Plus, just when she thinks she has made up her mind, there is another surprise that make her decision that much more difficult.

I hate cliffhangers but this one had one that I actually liked. Ace, Adam, and Alicia have really worked out this threesome into a semblance of normalcy. The conclusion of this part of the serial blew my mind. Amazing fourth part. Can't wait for the finale!

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
Four shorts in and I am counting the days for the final installment. Although I am not a great fan of serialised stories, this one has enough meat (pun definitely intended) to keep me interested, and invested.

The trio are trying to find their way, with plenty of barriers in their way. Each one has been brought to life by talented writing, so it is easy to fall into their rhythm as they narrate. When they do get together, it is scorchingly hot!

Mary Jo – ☆☆☆☆
Just when you think the trio just might have their act together, life throws a wrench in the mix. Alicia is fighting demons from her past; Ace, demons from the present.

When an unexpected hurdle arises, Ace does what he does best: speaks before he thinks.

Is part 5 out yet?

As the story goes on, so does my like for this series. We learned a little more about Alicia and her dangerous past. The cliffhanger ending had me sitting here with my mouth open. Really wasn't expecting that. I wonder what will happen in #5.

And here I thought the cliffhanger ending from Part Three was intense. I will say that while Ace’s reaction did NOT surprise me in the least, I was quite shocked by Adam’s behavior. But, I’m getting ahead of myself here. In the Moment: Part Four continues on from Part Three and we find Ace reeling from Alicia kicking the two of them out. What do two testosterone-fueled men do when the woman in their lives shows them the road? They engage in some seriously hot M/M sex. Adam has come to realize that Ace sees their sexual encounters as a way to reaffirm their connection and he is more than willing to give that to Ace… or should I say, take it from Ace. I’ve gotta hand it to Ms. Orman, even after four installments, she is still keeping the sexual encounters HAWT!

When Alicia dropped her bomb on Adam about her past – what she endured at the hands of her father – and that he seems to have found her, I was just as taken aback as he was. I knew from the previous installments that Alicia had a stalker, but I never imagined it to be her father or the level of abuse she suffered. I was glad to get to see Adam step up and be there for Alicia. That it led to yet another scorching ménage scene with Adam taking point… um, yeah! Whew! As Ace is still dealing with the fallout from the video of him and Adam together, Alicia and Adam’s relationship is given a chance to strengthen as they spend more time together. And this is why I was so surprised at the hostility he showed her at the end of this installment.

I will admit that I find myself flip-flopping on my feelings toward Ace. While I like his character, he comes off a bit whiny at times and has a tendency to get his panties in a twist. Yeah, I know, it’s hard to imagine saying that about an alpha male biker. But then I reconsider and think that maybe, just maybe, he lets Adam and Alicia see his turmoil because he sees them as his “safe place” and trusts them enough that he doesn’t have to maintain his macho biker image around them all the time. So with only one more installment left and the MAJOR cliffhanger Part Four left me with, I guess I have to reserve my final opinion of Ace until I get to read In the Moment: Part Five.

Mother by day. Writer by night. I spend a majority of my day with my children
and reading while my nights are filled with the sound of the keyboard as I work
on my next work.

I have written in F/F, F/F/M, F/F/F and then of course F/M genres.... So,
beware, I do not always have the most 'traditional' scenes. And one day I will
venture into M/M, just have to find the time.

I love to try new things and learn from every piece of work I write. I'll write
just about anything once to learn from it. I've even ventured out of my normal
erotica genre into Monster Erotica. Doubt you'll find me writing anything not
erotic as you can barely get me to even read something out of that category,
but then again, you never know what I might try next.
